Just for today, I will work on my acceptance. Not easy to accept head aches and aching all over. I just pray and ask for what I need for my health and well being. I know that I need to accept what is in the moment, it is subject to change if I am open to changing. As the old saying goes, nothing changes, if nothing changes  |

Just for today, I will try to make a more conscious effort to be here. I am hurting in the moment and have to leave, but hope to come back soon  |

Just for today, I will try to be honest with myself and not discount my feelings. I will not discount them or think them not worthy, it is okay to be me.  |

Just for today, I will remind myself that even though I miss a day posting, the defects of character are still there. This is a one day at a time program. It is a phrase I don't like because I find that too many people use as an excuse. I am only human! My answer is, "So, what are you going to do about it." God and I are still working on this.  |

Just for today, I will give thanks for my program. I was feeling very hopeless and powerless, and the pain seems to be the last straw and very overwhelming. Don't tale any narcotics for the pain and today I found myself wanting something that would take the pain all away. Having thought and said the words, I did a meditation and came on line.I am grateful that I got some sleep. I don't think I could have handled it without it. It is a good thing my God was there, without Him, not sure what I would do.  |

Just for today, I will try to be more God centered and less I centered. I have been concentrating on my pain and my boo boon and trying to meditate and ask for healing and come on line to share with others, my hope not my depression.  |

Just for Today, I will practice my patience and tolerance. Along with that my acceptance of what is. Bot in a very good space, but it is my own fault that I am here. Too many sweets, knowing the dos and don'ts and did it an way.  |

Just for today, I will practice patience and tolerance with myself. I took the skin off the top of my blister. I thought I was removing Inadine, but it was me. I didn't feel it then, but the after affects are scary. I have had two nurses say that they are fighting to save my foot. I have one big open wound now.  |

Just for today, I will let my frustration go. Even if I could walk, I couldn't. It is freezing rain out and really nasty. I have picked up a migraine from somewhere, and I need to let it go. I feel like only the left side of my brain is working and it hurts. Time to get off the computer and go do some meditations.  |

Just for today, I need to find some acceptance. I finally broke down and asked for a wheelchair. I need to find it fast as it it arriving on Wednesday. Not much room for one in my apartment, but good for my son to push me to the mall and I can use it to go to meetings.  |

Just for today, I will continue to work on my acceptance. My health isn't good, and I don't feel like I am in a good space. Hope I get to move. If I can't, I will just have to accept it is not meant to be.  |

Just for today, I will pray for the willingness to be willing to go to sleep. I thought I accepted the fact that I was prepared to die in my sleep if it were to happen as a result of my sleep apnea and my decision not to get the apparatus to wear when I am sleeping. Things are okay with me and my God, and I pray for His Divine Will for my life and I am still here, so He seems to have more faith in me than what I have for myself.  |

Just for today, I will recognize where I am at, do a Step Ten. My feet are less swollen, but they are still swollen and I need to respect them and not overdo things, like being on the computer for too long at one time. When I start to feel better, I always think I should be doing, when I should be using the slogan, Easy Does IT. Easy does it, but do it as they say in the rooms of recovery here in Ontario, Canada.  |

Just for today, I need to look at things with a new perception. My wheel chair arrived today, so I will have to learn to adapt my life style. I can see a lot of change happening in my life.  |

Just for today,I will accept my past. I wouldn't be who I am in today, if I hadn't gone through what I went through, to get to where I am in today. That goes for prior to recovery and afterward as I progress in recovery.  |

Just for today, I will make a conscious contact with my God by doing meditation. Remembering what my sponsor told me years ago, I don't care who your Higher Power is as long as it is not you.  |

Just for today, I will continue to work on my acceptance seeing as I slept through ALL OF YESTERDAY. I was hoping to be kept in the hospital another day,but had to accept going home. Wanted to make sure they had got to the bottom of things and why I ended up there. I did end up there, now I am home and have to do my part. They have to hae done their part as I have been on the computer for over 3 hours and my feet are not swollen. This is a good thing because I sat at the coffee shop for an hour after my hour and a half meeting. Sitting for that long use to cause my feet and ankles to swell into a balloon. My only problem and side affect have been muscle spasms, so that means eating properly and taking magnesium. Acceptance is the key to my recovery in today. If I don't accept, I don't do my part.  |

D is for Easy Does It, but do it. Today I am going to try to just be, and just do what is in front of me and not try to make things happen. I learned my friend was in the hospital and called Darts wanting there today, yet I have to be home to get picked up for my meeting tonight. Darts couldn't book me until tomorrow morning. That is good, because I have laundry to do either before or after my group. If I stay on the computer, it will be do after.  |

Just for today. I will give thanks for all the prayers that have been sent my way.I need to remember that I didn't get sober alone and I don't stay sober alone. I must be open to receive. Goodness is all around me. It is important to have an open mind and attitude to receive it.  |
